So you read the date backwards?!

09.3.3 is the 'used by date' on my milk carton.  If today is the 5th March, it should still be good for a few more days - at least until the 9th, right? Wrong!  My milk expired on the 3rd March, 2009. While I'm able to make the necessary adjustments most of the time, before breakfast is not one of those times.  On Tuesday I smelt the milk and noticed that it was on it's last legs, but used it anyway, yesterday I also used it, (it wasn't great, but it didn't kill me), last night I looked at the carton and read the date - yep, no wonder it tasted off!!  This morning I had an apple for breakfast!!    


Happy birthday Paul, glad it's not past your "used by date"!
